The idea is that there is no possibility of the weak defeating the strong. With force, there are too many examples of the weak defeating the strong. Methods such as subduing, poisoning and assassination are common. It started thousands of years ago. The most powerful kings were struck to death by lightning when they went out, or their gods were hidden. If you think about it, most of them were killed.

Even if Dio uses the mysterious ability of a substitute, he is still not invincible, but he can still be killed.

Therefore, military nobles often supported religious priests, and the two parties formed cooperation and recognized each other's status. If the military aristocrats wanted to oppose the priests, they would end badly, because the military aristocrats could not maintain society by relying solely on the military, and no matter how hard they fought, they would not be able to solve social problems.

Dio is a typical example. Apart from burning, killing and looting, he cannot propose a set of rules and can only use cruel killing methods to intimidate. But the problem is that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death. No matter how cruel the method is, it will one day be ineffective, because people can get used to fear, and people's thresholds are elastic.

Du Lan said sincerely: "Anyway, you help me and I will help you. How about we work together for mutual benefit?"

Duran asked Dio to lead his team of villains to deal with the void, and then he could give Dio the JOJO family property he wanted from the beginning.

Dior was even more arrogant than Confucius and ignored it at all. When Confucius was at the end of his rope, he still believed that he was right and the world was wrong. Dio only failed once, and he also awakened the ability to pause time. Naturally, he would not accept Duran's opinion. He was still far from the end of the road. No one can teach him how to do things. He is already on the 'path to victory', so why should he listen to Duran? Du Lan said that he was on the wrong path. If he listened to the other party, wouldn't he prove that he was wrong?

You can't be wrong, only the world is wrong.

Completely unable to communicate.

Dio wants to prove that he is right, JOJO is wrong, the world is wrong, and even fate is wrong. He wants to break through everything and become the only one in the world.

Duran wants him to be a person who follows the laws of human society and a person who adapts to the times. This is the fundamental contradiction between the two. Dior, like Confucius, wants to go against the trend, while Duran wants to go with the trend.

After all, Duran's purpose is to hope that the villain will succeed. How can he succeed against the trend?

But Dio doesn't think so, because he has superpowers, which lead him to think that he can break out of social rules and reshape society according to his own wishes.

But the problem is that the superpower is his, why should others listen? How does he convince everyone to accept this new world? Dio's method is to use force to coerce him. Anyway, he has super powers.

It doesn't matter if others don't accept it. Anyway, superpower can shut up those who don't accept it. This is the meaning of power.

"You will definitely fail, and it will be worse than a lost dog." Duran said.

"People like you won't understand." Dio said.

Du Lan is Zigong at best. He believes that people should follow the trend, and self-denial and restoration of rituals are not accepted because their standards are too high and they should adapt to the times.

Facts have proved that it is indeed necessary to adapt to the times, and the same is true for Confucianism. Confucius' self-denial and restoration of propriety is not perfect, and if you do not accept the transformation of the times, you will definitely be eliminated. In fact, Confucianism actively absorbed new ideas put forward by competing schools.

By the time Taoism in the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was already different from the Confucianism in the Confucius era.

Confucius's Confucianism is self-denial and restoration of rituals, Zichan's casting a punishment on a tripod, Zisi's moderation, Mencius's human nature is essentially good, Xunzi's gentleman's etiquette, Dong Zhongshu's induction of heaven and man, Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism's study of things to achieve knowledge, and Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind.

From self-denial and restoration of rituals to the study of the mind, Confucius would definitely not admit that the study of the mind can be regarded as Confucianism after his resurrection.

After all, Confucius just wanted to restore the Zhou rites and let everyone strictly act according to their own status and follow the Zhou rites system. But Wang Yangming said that knowledge and action should be united, and everyone should search for conscience from within. Everyone can become a saint by digging for conscience.

They are two completely unrelated things.

Confucius's teachings indeed proposed some universal things, but if they are not suitable for the times, there is no need to accept them even if they are universal things. Because other doctrines can also be proposed, Confucianism is not necessarily needed at all.

In the end, Zigong was right, and the standards still had to be changed in order to continue the school.

For whom is self-denial and restoration of rites useful? Of course they are nobles, and only nobles need to abide by Zhou etiquette. The Zhou rites did not stipulate the lifestyle of Chinese people and barbarians, but only the lifestyle of nobles and officials such as Duke Bozinan.

Zichan's method of casting punishment on a tripod was useful to the people of the country. Everyone acted in accordance with the criminal law, and the people of the country also had a standard of living. However, the legal limitations are too great, and without social consensus, it is difficult to maintain.

Both Zisi and Mencius aim to build social consensus. Zisi's doctrine of moderation means that individuals should follow standards when doing things, while Mencius' theory of human nature being inherently good means that everyone has the foundation to receive education in benevolence and righteousness.

Xunzi had rebelled against the Zhou rites, believing that the Zhou rites were useless and that a new etiquette system should be reestablished. The new etiquette must include nobles and Chinese people, but unfortunately it was not successfully formulated. The reason why it is etiquette rather than law is because law is only about rewards and punishments. It only has a consensus of interests and no social consensus. In many cases, the interests are not enough and social consensus is needed.

Dong Zhongshu felt that it was the emperor who set up a contract with local powerful people. The emperor recognized the status of the powerful, and the powerful defended the emperor, which alleviated the conflict between the First Emperor and the nobles. For the first time, the emperor's status was stabilized, so that the emperor and the powerful could not only confront each other, but also cooperate.

Neo-Confucianism gave scholars the foundation to attack the nobility, allowing the two classes to merge into scholar-bureaucrats. The reason why saints are saints is not because of their bloodline and identity, but because they understand the principles of heaven and earth. As long as they study things and gain knowledge, everyone can become a saint. If a nobleman cannot study things to gain knowledge, then his bloodline cannot help him.

Xinxue means that we no longer need to study things to gain knowledge, but only need to unite knowledge and action and discover conscience, which once again lowers the threshold for becoming a saint. To seek knowledge through investigation, one needs to be recognized by outsiders. The unity of knowledge and action means taking oneself as the standard and does not require external certification.

At first, Confucianism only recognized nobles, then it was open to the people of the country, then it became a contract between classes, and finally it became a way of personal practice, which changed so much that even Confucius didn't recognize it.

Society is developing, and Confucianism is constantly facing new classes and proposing solutions to problems.

Confucius faced the nobility, and his disciples faced the nobility and Chinese people; Dong Zhongshu faced the nobility, Chinese people, and barbarians; Neo-Confucianism faced the integration of the nobility and scholars; Xinxue faced the scholar-bureaucrats and common people.

As the social environment changes, Confucianism also keeps pace with the times. If everyone, like Confucius, only focused on the nobility, Confucianism would have been eliminated long ago.

So in the end, Zigong was right. To conform to the times is to be on the winning side. Dior is so stubborn and insists on fighting against the times, it is like a mantis trying to defeat the chariot.

"You think your opponent is the world and destiny. As long as you persist, you can succeed. It can only be said that you underestimate the world and destiny too much." Duran said: "Let you see your own destiny. .”

Spoiler for Dio and see if he can pull it off.

For most of the universe, he failed. Of course, there are some universes where he successfully killed the JOJO family and then tried to create his own 'paradise', but these paradises are also short-lived, and they are all subject to death.

Heaven is a concept proposed by Dior, which means people know their future and accept it. It's a very double standard. Dior himself fights against fate, but wants everyone to accept the fate of being ruled by him.

But if people know the future, there will be two results, acceptance and confrontation, and they will still not be unified.

Now Duran allows Diaw to see his future and even his different choices on different parallel lines. See if Dio can accept a different fate, see the difference between failure and success, see if he prefers success or failure.

A large number of timelines were crammed into Dio's brain, giving him a splitting headache.

If people know their future, will they accept it? Not necessarily, even Dior would make different choices.
